    Dull start with a great finish meant 4.47 O's on the ESE system, but boosted the WNW to a near max of 5.9 O's. June prediction now at 105%.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    4.7 O's yesterday has lifted us to within 2kWh's of annual target, so almost back on track for the year.

    The weekend looks a bit poor, but then the 'fibbing' weather forecast suggests a whole week of fine weather, like I'm gonna fall for that again. :doh:

    Later this morning off to visit a guide dog we boarded last Nov, and will be holidaying with us for 2 weeks in late June. So that'll bring out the sun regardless of the weather.

    First post of the month, May was so exhilarating it wore me out! Half way through June and the total is 61.5 Os, an average of 4.1 per day and 53% of PVGIS for the month, so looking reasonably good. Best day was the 6th with 6.37 Os and worst day the 5th with 2.18.
    2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.
